A Flower of a Frock

Grace Ciao is a 23-year old Fashion Illustrator from Singapore. Her style mainly involves conceptualizing creative fashion outfits by integrating real flower petals into her illustrations. Occasionally, her works tap into the use of markers and watercolours to construct her designs.

 
Grace has been engaged to perform live drawing and art-making at events and exhibitons. Her works have also been commissioned by the likes of Jaeger LeCoultre, Coach and Club Monaco among others.

Grace graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration.

They are biblically, insanely well put together using just flowers.

Up, Up and Away in My Beautiful Balloon ...

Jon's friend, Heidi Hall, sent him these aerial photos of landscapes shot from a flying plane. I find them absolutely stunning, and thought you would enjoy them, too!

Tulip Fields, The Netherlands

Vatican City, Rome

Athens, Greece

 Terraced Rice Fields, China

Paris, France

Niagara Falls, USA

Nambi Desert, Nambia

Moscow, Russia

 Mexico City, Mexico

Maze, Longleat, England

Giza Pyramids, Egypt

Central Park, New York City, USA

Bern, Switzerland

Bac Son Valley, Viet Nam

Amsterdam, Holland

Hope you've enjoyed our little sky high tour around the globe! I just love the patterns that emerge when cities and rural areas are viewed from afar - I know it's trite and cliché - but like quilt patterns!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Now, go make something beautiful ...

and, finally, not cherry blossom, but roses - however,
 they fit so perfectly into this post I 
just couldn't bring myself to leave them out.
